It is essential to increase the switching speed of power devices to reduce the energy loss because high frequency is commonly used in power device operation these days. In this work electron irradiation has been conducted to reduce the lifetime of minority carriers and thereby to increase the switching speed of a$p^+- n^-$ junction diode. Effects of electron irradiation on the electrical properties of the diode are reported The switching speed is effectively increased. Also the junction leakages and the forward voltage drop which are anticipated to increase are found to be negligible in the $p^+- n^-$ junction diodes irradiated with the optimum energy and dose. The analysis results of DLTS and C-V profiling indicate that the defects induced by electron irradiation in the silicon substrate are donor-like ones which have the energy levels of 0.284 eV and 0.483 eV. Considering all the experimental results in this study, it might be concluded that electron irradiation is a very useful technique in improving the switching speed and thereby reducing the energy loss of $p^+- n^-$ junction diode power devices.

수명이 짧은 전해 캐패시터 대신 필름 캐패시터를 링크 캐패시터로 가지는 컨버터의 경우, 매우 넓은 입력 전압 범위를 가질 수 밖에 없다. 일반적인 넓은 입력 범위를 가지는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 경우, 변압기 인덕터($L_M$) 값을 작게 하여 순환 전류가 커지도록 설계될 수 밖에 없고, 이는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 더 큰 도통 손실 및 더 큰 turn-off 손실을 야기하여 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 변환 효율을 감소시키게 된다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 공진 인덕터에 보조 권선을 감소, 추가 스위치를 이용하여 입력 범위에 따라 공진 주파수($f_O$)를 변경할 수 있는 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 $L_M$ 값을 키워 정상 상태 시 도통 손실 및 turn-off 손실을 줄여 효율을 개선할 수 있으며, 낮은 입력 시 보조 스위치를 이용, $f_O$ 변경을 통하여 추가적인 Gain을 얻으면서 공진 인덕터의 철손을 줄여 넓은 입력 범위를 커버하면서 높은 변환 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 제안하는 컨버터는 간단한 제어 방법과 낮은 전류 스펙을 가지는 작은 스위치를 사용할 수 있어 전력 밀도 증가를 최소화하면서 높은 효율을 가져갈 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

The economic losses resulted from the accident in the power cables at the power station is not only huge but also requires a great amount of time and expenses to restore to the former condition. In order to prevent these, it is necessary to invent and apply a technique to expect and prevent the accidents. In order to measure insulation resistances of power cables in operation, we derived the relations between load current and temperature. By analyzing data obtained from our measuring equipments, we showed the expected time to change deteriorated cables before accident occurs. We present a result of our study on the effects of the load current on lifetime of 6.6 kV cable systems in operation. With the current flowing through the load of the cable a heat is generated reducing the lifetime of the cable. In order to find out the effect of load current on the lifetime of cable systems, we applied the lifetime theory to the development of two equipments to measure insulation resistance and current of cable systems in operation.

Conductors in overhead transmission lines are exposed under various environmental conditions for a long period of time, so that they may be slowly degraded due to air pollutant or thermal history. Aged conductors may reduce power system reliability and public safety. Therefore, diagnosis of aged conductors in service becomes more important concerns with respect to keeping power delivery stable with a proper capability, replacing aged conductors, or constructing a new line. In this paper, we posed a new method to diagnose the refurbishment life and estimate the remaining life of aged conductors by measuring dips. As analyzing some relations of conductor temperature, conductor current, and tension load, it could be verified that dip exactly shows mechanical tension loss for aged conductor. Based on several simulation results, it was shown that the proposed method may be effectively used to diagnose the refurbishment life or remaining one of overhead conductors.

Distribution system loss minimization re-configuration is 0-1 planning problem, and the number of combinations requiring searches is extremely large when dealing with typical system scales. For this reason, the application of a genetic algorithm (GA) seems a tractive to solve this problem. Although Genetic algorithms are a type of random number search method, they incorporate a multi-point search feature and are therefore superior to one-point search techniques. The incorporate of GAs for solving large combinational problem has received wide attention. Further, parallel searching can be performed and the optimal solution is more easily reach ed. In this paper, for improving GA convergence characteristics in the distribution system loss minimization re-configuration problem, a chromosome "Limited Life" concept is introduced. Briefly, considering the population homogenization and genetic drift problems, natural selection is achieved by providing this new concept, in addition to natural selection by fitness. This is possible because individuals in a population have an age value. Simulation were carried out using a model system to check this method's validity.

;The consicErations for reminder life of transmission line is gradually higher. It is requisite for investigation of ACSR's life to test tensile load of ACSR as a fundamental data. It is vary important to analysis correlations between results of tensile load testing and elasped years. Estimation of ACSR's life can be obtained by statistics processing using mechanical experirrental results. It is a general method to use regression analysis as a statistics processing technique. In this paper, we did experiment on tensile strength of ACSR by using a new and old ACSR as sample experirrental materials. The limit of life estimation is decided by basic line using twenty percentage reduction of rate tensile strength. This basic line is like to results of Canada Ontario Hydro-research. There are $95[\textrm{mm}^2]$, $97[\textrm{mm}^2]$, $120[\textrm{mm}^2]$, $240[\textrm{mm}^2]$ ACSRs which are experimented on this study. 1be life estimation of these ACSR is presented by table 1 to be obtained through the linear regression and nonlinear regression analysis. SPSS and statistics toolbox of matlab is used for analysis.lysis.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of integrating and re-using information generated and used throughout the lifecycle of a building. BIM may not be very different from other management methods in that it aims to minimize the economic loss and maximize the profit by designing, building, and maintaining a building better, faster, yet cheaper. The major difference between BIM and other methods is that BIM approaches the goal from a system point of view whereas other methods generally approaches the goal from a business management point of view. Since a project cannot succeed without considering both systematic and managerial aspects of a project, the line has been blurred these days. This paper explores a historical background of BIM and discusses the key technologies for successful implementation of BIM.

Geostationary satellites use the thruster in order to control the location change and mount the suitable amount of liquid propellant depending on the operating lifetime. Therefore the lifetime of the geostationary satellite depends on the residual propellant amount and the precise residual propellant gauging is very important for the mitigation of economic losses arised from premature removal of satellite from its orbit, satellites replacement planning, slot management and so on. The propellant gauging methods of geostationary satellite are mostly used PVT method, thermal mass method and bookkeeping method. In this paper, we analysis the modeling of COMS(Communication, Ocean & Meteorological Satellite) bipropellant system for bookkeeping method and COMS GTO(Geostationary Transfer Orbit) injection propellant estimation using Monte-Carlo method.

In general the starting current of single phase induction motor is 3 to 6times of the rated current It make flickering an electric lamp, dispersion a TV screen, insulation destructing an electric motor and momentary blazing of house wiring. Thus it happens losing an electric power loss and reducing an efficiency and a life of home electrical apparatus. In this paper, we proposed the method of reducing staring current with 3.7(%) using TRIAC and ACCT(alternated current transformer) in order to improve the above problem And also we verified semipermanent system with using semiconductor element.

WBAN(Wireless body area network)에서 사용되는 저 출력 센서 디바이스는 상당한 패킷 손실률을 발생시키며 데이터의 신뢰성을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 기존의 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜은 데이터 오류 발생 시 수신한 전체 데이터를 재전송하기 때문에 불필요한 에너지 소모와 오버헤드가 발생된다. 특히 WBAN 환경에서 인체 내부에 이식되는 디바이스의 경우 배터리 교체의 어려움과 초 저전력을 요구하기 때문에 노드의 수명 유지를 위해 사용되는 전력 소모량도 중대한 문제가 되고 있으며, 전체 데이터를 재전송하는 기존의 방식에서 발생하는 에너지 소모는 노드의 수명을 단축시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 저전력과 신뢰성을 요구하는 WBAN 환경에서 수신 오류율 변화에 따른 데이터 동적 블록화 기법을 사용하여 재전송 데이터의 크기를 줄인다.
